How do other teams work through/solve this (or a similar) problem?
Remember school should be coming first, grades are more important than robots (although most people here will contradict that statement). We sort of set up our build season so that weeks 1+2 are for brainstorming, prototyping, and designing, and then week 3 can be more for preparing for the build and ordering parts, and then weeks 4,5, and 6 can be for build and practice. This makes it so that not having all of our kids during week three won't affect our design or build too much.
